SimplePiercings (Patreon)

MAJOR UPDATE 24/12: I'm removing the link to the download for the moment. Although I tested the mod to check that I had fixed the error messages and that piercings were showing up for both older SimpleGens and the new SimplePenis 2.0 models, it seems my testing wasn't rigorous enough. Unfortunately there appear to be issues causing piercings to just disappear at random times, such as when sims are changing clothes or when loading a lot. I don't believe this is how the mod operated when I first launched it, but I can't pin down exactly when this became an issue.

I don't know the exact cause of the problem. There's a possibility it's to do with the parts of the mod I created, but I haven't changed anything about those elements since the mod launched. There's also a possibility that it's due to the scripted part of the mod, but I didn't create the script and I can't just dig in and fix it if that is in fact the issue.

I'm really sorry to have to do this, but since I don't have an immediate fix for the problem, I'm going to remove the mod's download link until I can either find a solution or find an alternate method of pierced anatomy that shows up reliably.


SimplePiercings is a set of piercings that your sim can purchase, store in their inventory, and equip in Live Mode.

The piercings have been through a number of iterations, from CAS versions to the Live versions, and a number of different script updates. Thanks to help from TURBODRIVER, the current SimplePiercings mod is more resilient and less likely to break when WickedWhims is updated.

The current version of the mod includes piercings for a variety of my anatomy options. New piercing styles and expanded anatomy choices will be added in the future.

KEY FEATURES & DETAILS:
1) Available in 6 swatches: Silver, Gold, Blue, Bronze, Steel, Chrome
2) Compatible with multiple Simdulgence anatomy options, including SimpleBreasts, SimpleChests, SimplePenis 1.0 and SimplePenis 2.0
3) Allows for purchasing and equipping piercings in Live mode!

HOW TO USE SIMPLEPIERCINGS:
1) Search for the piercings in the Buy catalogue, either under "piercings" or "Simdulgence".
2) Purchase the piercing you want for your sim. It shows up as a piercing icon in the catalogue, and as a simple jewelry box in Live Mode.
3) Drag the box over your sim in Live Mode, or direct them to place it in their Inventory.
4) Click the piercing icon in your sim's Inventory OR click on the sim and choose "Wear Piercing". If you want to remove it, click the piercing icon OR on your sim and choose "Remove Piercing".

On occasion a piercing won't show up. Changing your sim's clothes, arousal state, or their chosen anatomy will usually force a refresh of their appearance and cause the piercing to show.
